R devel - Jun 2003 - Minor quibble with eigen and La.eigen (PR#3221)

Hi everyone,

It's a very minor point, but could we ensure that eigen and La.eigen
return a *matrix* for the "vectors" component of the list by including
a
"drop = FALSE", as specified in the help file, ie put

    list(values = z$values[ord], vectors = if (!only.values) z$vectors[, 
        ord, drop = FALSE])

Thanks, Jonathan.

We certainly can.  (svd seems to do this already.)

Could you (next time) supply a test example for the regression suite, 
though?
